Color Blast 5K

Last year, thousands of people turned out at Moreland Park for the Color Blast. And I guarantee you that many of them plan to come back again Saturday, March 21st for the 2015 event! Registrations for it are underway now and here's how you can get involved and be a part of one of Owensboro's most exciting and "colorful" 5K's!

The Owensboro Color Blast 5K is in the books. Over 3,000 people turned out to support six different local agencies supporting children and adults with developmental disabilities. As usual, the day was amazing. There were color blasts along the race route. There was a HUGE after-party with color flying through the air and onto our clothes. And there were very emotional and moving performances on the stage. For me, Kayla Burgess stole the show. Watch this video. This gal had the crowd, Jaclyn and me in tears.

Thousands of people turned out at Moreland Park in Owensboro Saturday morning for the 2014 Color Blast 5K. And, after the race, we invited those 3,000 people to take part in a huge color-blasting after-party, where we rocked out the "Harlem Shake!" Check this out!

In fact, the groups behind the event are offering some really cool "early bird" registration incentives. Check this out!

There were so many highlights at Owensboro's first-ever Color Blast 5K, it was really hard to count them all. We had the awesome impromptu Harlem Shake video in which 4,000 people threw packets of color up in the air. We had glorious weather and a record-breaking crowd join us at English Park for the biggest 5K in the history of Owensboro-Daviess County. We raised tons of money for six different agencies serving individuals with developmental disabilities. And we had some terrific performances on the Showmobile stage. And one of those performances was delivered by Leland Isbill. Watch this kid play the harmonica! He will knock your socks off!

The Color Blast 5K in downtown Owensboro was a tremendous hit and success. Over 4,200 runners/walkers attended the event and stuck around for the big after-party at English Park! There, each participant was handed a bag full of color and that color went flying when we decided to film a Color Blast 5K Harlem Shake video! WATCH!!

Six local non-profit organizations are coming together in celebration of March being Disability Awareness Month with an awesome event here in Owensboro. Puzzle Pieces, Wendell Foster’s Campus for Developmental Disabilities, Dream Riders of Kentucky, Team Karlie, Two Rivers Buddy Ball and Green River Area Down Syndrome Association are collaborating together to host a Color Blast 5K (walk/run) in English Park to honor individuals who have unique qualities and abilities.

I have been wanting to participate in a run like this for a while and can't wait to join in the fun on Saturday, March 23rd! You should come out too!
